THE IRISH CRIMES ACT.
A Point Which MIR. Smith Will Not Concede
Earl Cadogan's Land BILL

A Point Which Mr.. Smith Will Not Concede
Earl Cadoeans Land BILL
LONDON, April 4--The Rt. Hon. w. II. Smith,
First Lord of tine Treasury. replying to ques
ton in the House of Commons, this afternoon,
said that under the proposed Irish crimes-act-
amendment bill one of the two magistrates exer-
cising summary jurisdiction must have sufficient
knowledge OF the law. He Mr.. Smith) would
not agree to such a drastic proposal as the re-
novaI of all Irish magistrates lacking legal edu-
cation.
Although Earl Cadogan. in presenting the gov
ernment's land bill in the House of Lords. made
no reference whatever to land purchase, the
measure embodes ten clauses devoted to that
subject. These are not however. designed to
benefit tenants but are almost wholly directed
toward simplifying land purchases In the inter
ests of mortgages and landlords. The clauses
provide tha. the land commission may advance
the whole amount OF the purchase money, which
must not, how3ver, exceed $4,000 to any one
purchaser, and in event of landlords selling
boycotted farm the commission is empowered to
compel the sheriff to put the buyer in Immediate
possession

CARDINAL GIBBONS.

Church Students at Rome Hold PoIyslot
Academia in His Honor.
ROME, April A polyglot academia in honor
Of Cardinal Gibbons was held to-day. The ex-
ercisss opened with a triumphal hymn aud
chorus specially composed. and conducted by
Rev. Francisco Borghi. This was followed by q
Latin address from Rev. Mooney. of Chicago; a
solo by George Lyons. Of Bostor; an Italian
address by Frederick Rocker. of Albany; an
English address by Father Riordan, OF Balti-
more; a concerted piece "Ormus Propontifce
Nostra Leoine." by Rev. Francisco Borghi;
1.-The Starspangled Banner" and chorus, and
a French poem by Henry Newey. of New York;
the finale was the chorus composed by Rev.
Francisco Borghi.
Cardinal Gibbons sat under a canopy of purple
velvet and crimson silk the walls of which were
festooned. Among those present were Arch
bishop Carr Bishop Keane Monsignori Smith,
Stoner. Campbell, OBren. O'Connell and Cor
RADIO. Major Huntington, Henry Cassell and Mr..
Gerry. Cardinal Langenieux was resent short
time. and congratulated the students. AT the
conclusion Of the exercises Cardinal Gibbons,
with marked emotion, expressed his keen appre-
citation of the tributes paid him. He said the
tribute came from the students hearts-froui
the hearts Of the young filled with sincerity and
devotion. The students were destined to
be coworkers in the vineyards of the
Lord in their glorious country, their ab
sence from which enhanced their affection
for it. The studies in Rome. far from absorb
ing, would strengthen their love of their coun-
try, and their religion would intensity. elevate
and ennobe their patriotism In the American
people, composed of various European nation
alities, one Of the most gratifying features was
the rapidity with which they became assim-
ilated and welded together. After the first or
second generation. nearly all traces of the old
nationalites disappeared The American stu
dents IN Rome would return home with their
minds filled with knowledge, their hearts with
faith to work amid sixty million people that
form one united country, strong and indissolu-
BILE. In conclusion, he said: You, as stu
dents, and likewise as a band of brothers, will
return having one faith, to aid III planting and
spreading that faith, and in time take our places
in the great work of the Lord"

came rushing into headquarters from Boston.
Chicago, New York. Philadelphia and st. Louis,
asking for unofficial returns at 130 and the final
result tonight. Every eye is turned on CIncin-

much interest as the New York contest was.
At 3:45 everything on the Labor ticket was
claimed.
"What stress do you place on the probable
result of this fight7" was asked Of several gentle
men in the headquarters.

CINCINNATI, April 4.-Ths most inter esting,
uncertain and surprising election for years was
that of to-day. AT this writing. p. NJ, the best
experts in forecasting results are at loss, and
give their estimates with many reservations to
cover coming returns. The uncertainty arises
from the Unexpectedly large vote for the Labor
party, and from its queer distribution
1t was at first thought that this party would
draw its strength more from the Democrats than
from the Republicans. but returns now in show
heavy drafts in Republican districts, especially
in the German quarter. The Eleventh ward,
German ward, hitherto Republican stronghold,
has been carried to-day by the Labor party.
There are 165 precincts in the city
OF these, "a have been heard from, and they
show Republican loss of 476 on the vote for
comptroller year ago, when the Republican
majority was $3.50. Assuming that the same
rate of loss will be maintained in the precincts
yet to hear from, the Republican candidate for
Mayor will be elected by plurality of about
1900. But, as before limited. it is unsafe to
relative aggregate vote of the first 2t precincts
Democrat, 1865; Stevenson, Labor, 1,697
The election was carried on in perfectly good
order. A clear space Of one hundred feet on
each side of the polling places was kept all day
by the non partisan police, whose authority was
respected. Voters passed the ordeal of ticket
holders outside Of this limit but, within and at
the polls, no elsctioneering was permitted. The
judges and clerks are so carefully selected by a
board of elections, that there is no suspicion of
false count. SO that, whatever is the result
there will be no doubt that was the will of the
people.
IL p. M-The board of elections has just COM
pleted footing on the head of the ticket. which

are: Stevenson, 17,4l4; Smith, Republican, IT,
404; Matson, Democrat 11,547. They have re-

course, with such result, the official count will
have to be awaited for the real verdict. An in
spection of the vote indicates that the remainder
of the ticket will be Republican, except judge Of

LONDON. April 4.-The Colonial Conference
opened at the Foreign Office to-day. Lord
Salisbury welcomed the delegates, who, he said,
were engaged in the work of originating great
movement towards imperial federation. The
question OF actual federation one, perhaps,
more for future discussion than for present, the
most important question pressing upon the
attention of the whole empire being in his
opinion, the common interest the colonies had
with the mother country in the imperial de-
fense The Premier, continuing said he was
opposed to the ambitious scheme of making
this, however. he did not wish to be- understood
as casting any slur upon the aspiration for
imperial federation, although he was free TO say
he thought the scheme was of hazy and doubt
full character STILL it contained materials out
of which practical results might be obtained. IL
should be borne in mind however, that England
was unable Co emulate Germany in her manner
Of conducting imperial affairs. The English
government must be satisfied to allow
each portion of the empire to conduct its
own affairs in its own locality. Two forms
OF union existed-one military the other Gus
toms union. He did not think customs union
among all the parts of the British empire impos-
sible. A union Cor the imperial defense was Of
common interest The impression prevailed
that the question of defense was entirely an i'm
perial matter. because colonial dangers might
result from the imperial policy. The speaker
admitted that the extension Of the empire might
require that portion OF. it might incur danger.
Engand's policy was, however. essentially pa
cifc, but the danger of war arising from the poll
icy of some other country should induce the col
onists to make their defenses efficient The dis-
tant parts of the empire were within the sphere
of possible aggression. European nations were
showing increased desire for colonial and foreign
possessions. The solemn and reasonable sense
of interest and security which the colonies had
in the shield which the imperial government
threw over them, should convince them that it
was to their interest to contribute men and
means to the mutual defense. In addition to
this Lord Salisbury said he hoped that tia con-
nectlon bstween the colonies and England would
become more real. and the spectacle would be
presented to the world of a vast empire,
founded, not on force or subsection, but on SYM
pathy and resolute cooperation.

A Time When Stevenson Was Ahead.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CINCINNATI, April 4.-By II o'clock tonight
the last of the 165 precincts had been received
and footed up by the board of electors, and the
following figures of to-day's electiohFwere an
nounced:
Stevenson. Labor candidate for Mayor. II, ,414;
Smith, Republican, 7,4o4; Matson. Democrat,
l1696-a plurality of 10 for Stevenson
When the crowds Of workingmen on the
streets realized that laboring man, Labor
platform. had been elected Mayor of the seventh
city Of the Union, and that, too. the first at
tempt, they made the night resound with their
cries of victory and the city bright with their
bonfres. They quit work to-day to work at the
organizations ever used here by any politi-
cal party; they voted early and stood at the polls
all day and worked for their man. By noon
they had him elected, as they believed, and from
that time until the polls closed, at P. NJ, they
traded him off for ward officers The result is
credit to their calculations, even though they won
only by the skin of their teeth. Smith
ran behind his ticket nearly every
where. so that the rest of the Republican
ticket is elected by pluralities ranging from 500
to 1000 or so, though footings have not been
made of the other candidates yet In some Of
the strong Democratic wards the Labor cand-
dates for ward Offices were elected Fitzgerald
Democratic candidate for police judge, whose
reelection was generally conceded, is probably
beaten by !, 800 to 1000 votes. No other caudi-
date on that ticket is supposed to have a show,
unless 1t should be for Police Court clerk.
Altogether, the Labor party has cause for
great congratulation over their campaign just
o.osed Their ticket was e good one, and their
work for it superb. They are wild with
joy tonight. and planning big campaigns
for the future. Thobey, who so nearly beat
